therock Supersonic July 24, 2022 Author Share July 24, 2022 At least he is aware he is over, and keeps a tight ship. In USA, the next step is to borrow more or use another credit card.. I even know some friends who intend to carry their debt to their deaths, instead of paying up.. ↡ Advertisement 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be better to sell the car for a higher value now and maybe buy a car when his financial situation improves: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/inflation-rising-prices-car-petrol-transport-cost-family-2806636 Inflation and recession is a time where we were reminded not to live a lifestyle that is too extravagant. People tend to equate an extravagant lifestyle as a higher quality of life which is merely an illusion. There is no higher quality of life when the workload has to be increased or one has to run faster at the hamster wheel just to sustain the income needed for that lifestyle. All these comes at the expense of stress, mental and physical health which then affects well-being and relationship. These are unsustainable and hence caused a lot of mental health issues in the recent years. So hope people look at inflation and recession as time not just to balance back their wallet but also a time to self-reflect on what is truly important to them and family. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
